TL;DR
micro sd card for Raspberry Pi
Hello,

I have a raspberry pi with a camera and would like to take some pictures with. Online, there are preloaded and not preloaded cards...What is the difference? Preloaded in what sense?

For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXR6EOA/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Not sure about the NOOBs either...

Thank you for any advise!

The SD card in the link below is already loaded with NOOBS, an operating system installer. With this software you can choose which operating system you want to run.

If you do a search such as "what is noobs installer" you can find a lot more information.
